Reissues of Talk Talk's Laughing Stock (never released on vinyl in North America before) and Mark Hollis' self-titled solo record.

I have been considering getting that Mark Hollis - I keep looking at it in the shop. I love Talk Talk, particularly the Colour of Spring - one of my favourite albums from the 1980s. I'd be interested to hear what the solo album is like.

Amen Brother! Colour of Spring is definitely one of the best albums from the 80s. I never tire of listening to it.

I almost bought that Mark Hollis solo album yesterday. I had never heard of it before and the first song on it is called The Colour of Spring so it has to be good!

Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow

What a bummer! Just tried to play this and the edges of the record were warped. It played for about half of one side (though it didnt sound so good) then the sound just slowed and it stopped playing. When I checked the needle there was white material hanging from it (the record is white). First, I'm bummed about the record..was really looking forward to it and that's $16 down the drain. Second, is my needle damaged? Scared to play something else now.

You might just need to clean your needle.. Is your headshell removable?

It's been a Foo Fighters vinyl couple of weeks. Got the reissues and Medium Rare.

how do they sound

I bought the first one and it just sounds like the digital recording on vinyl

do the others sound better?

I think the first two sound the best. There Is Nothing Left To Lose and One By One sound as bad as they did on CD. In Your Honor is decent.

I think Mogwai do.
I think most records have to be mastered differently to be cut on wax.

Of Montreal - False Priest
Decibully - City of Festivals

Most likely getting the Matt Pond PA collection on vinyl too. I absolutely LOVE that band.

Gotta love those Polyvinyl sales.
